thank you for five
{mostly good, often trying, bewilderingly strange, incredibly confusing, laugh-filled, sleep-filled, sleep-deprived, overworked, underworked, raucous, boring, crazy, wonderful}
years....
now that i've described our relationship fairly adequately, let's move on.
i'd like to focus on the good things. an old romance will do that. as you gaze back at it, all you can see are the pretty parts, the soft, hazy sweet moments that made the time worthwhile.
so, with that in mind, i'd like to thank you for all the yummy goodnesses, the prettying up places, the sounds and the sights.
and i'll just start....in the middle...kind of like life. just...NOW.

| the dust |
i wish i'd discovered this place much earlier in my tenure...but, at least i discovered it. that place is stardust...
 |
| look close, the wall art is always enticing. like drawings of girls in granny panties. |
i spent a lot of time sitting in that little room with my laptop, tapping away on my MacBook. i was able to focus really well here, unlike so many other places i tried. as a freelancer, this really made all the difference. and it got me out of my house. and i loved the familiar faces.
 |
| this is where i sat for my Skype job interview. |
and this cat. i put a mustache on the cat at one point. or maybe someone else did.
 |
| beautiful. and good. |
and the coffee....the coffee is really the best in town, in my opinion.
Oh, and did you know...the movement TWLOHA all started in florida...
 |
| here in CA i see people wearing these tees everywhere yes, it began in melbourne but the movie was filmed in orlando...on my parents' street actually. i was out running one day and ran by the set. |

| kat dennnings as renee |
 |
| here's jamie tworkowski and the real renee |
 |
| i never knew how common this was until i learned about it living in Orlando |
this is just the first installment in my love letter to orlando.
there's so much more to come.
it is a complicated relationship.
so there's a lot to it.
come back for more. i'll be adding to it very soon.
xoxoxo
all my love,
